The myotonic goat or Tennessee fainting goat is an American breed of goat. It is characterised by myotonia congenita, a hereditary condition that may cause it to stiffen or fall over when excited or startled.[1]: 396 [2][3] It may also be known as the fainting goat, falling goat, stiff-legged goat or nervous goat, or as the Tennessee wooden-leg goat.[4]: 28 [5] Four goats of this type were brought to Tennessee in the 1880s.[6]
Myotonic goats tend to be less preferred for sustainable meat production.[7]
